Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

emotional informative sad slow-paced

3.0

I'm not sure how to feel about this book. On one hand I enjoyed diving into Ibo culture and can understand the flaws that come with it are fundamental flaws of man. I also understand why the book came to such an abrupt/unsatisfying ending. However, it left an empty feeling which is probably true to reality. It was surely an interesting read although rather slow at times. I wish I could rate it higher but I just don't enjoy reading about black pain. I wish there were more moments of joy and character development in Okonkwo.
